The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have launched a joint investigation into a major theft that occurred on Easter Sunday, as per sources briefed on the matter
The theft, amounting to tens of millions of dollars, took place at a money storage facility in Sylmar, located in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, according to law enforcement sources. The theft was discovered on Monday morning by the building's owners, who realized the money had been stolen.
Investigators believe the thieves gained entry to the money storage area, possibly a vault, by accessing it through the roof, as indicated by officials familiar with the investigation. The operation's complexity suggests the involvement of a well-coordinated group, though no suspects have been identified thus far.
The LAPD and FBI are working in conjunction to investigate the theft, determine the exact amount stolen, and apprehend those responsible.
